The money, bonds and valuable papers in the burglar-proof steel chest inside the safe were not reached, although several hours must have been spent in the useless attempt to drill the chilled steel and Franklinite chest, and in endeavorlng to open it with wedges, crowbars and sledges. This is the third unsuccessful attempt on this steel chest within a few years. About S3 worth of pennles and nickels in the cigar case were taken, also about S25 worth of silk handkerchiefs and several pairs of gloves and mittens.

 This has necessitated con- tinued additions to my stock, until I find my selling space entirely too limited to allow of a favorable display of goods. In justice to my friends and myself, I have made arrange ments with the owners of the building, Messrs Burget & Watson, for an addition in the rear and north side, as we'll as thoroughly renovating and re- furnishing the entire store.
 These Improvements will be made early in the spring.
 To facilitate the work 1 shall dispose of my present stock of Dry Goods, Cloaks and Shawls, Dress Goods, Hosiery, Blanke S, etc., regardless of cost, and thus make room for the work men.
 Everything must be sold, and necessarily at Rock Bottom Prices.
 Then ] shall stock up anew.
 Thanking my patrons for the favors which have rendered these alterations necessary,
